The Khadas VIM(1) SBC uses an AMPAK AP6212 module with device ID 0x2209; resulting in BCM43430A1 firmware being loaded (as per current code) instead of BCM43438A1 which is needed for the BT module to work. The following patch is required:

Is BCM43438A1 simply a newer version of firmware that could be used by all devices (and the above patch can be submitted to effect the change) .. or is something more complicated required?
